Republican nominee too favorable to environmental interests. Somehow I don't think this story will be going mainstream.
Jorge wants a Kyoto liberal in his administration?
Just another shill of the Rockefeller/Morgan CFR - Trilat seed-bed of future Presidents AND their cabinets, who've placed every president and cabinet member since WWII with the exception of RWR.
That W appointed a Corzine clone is pathetic and telling at once.
The very second we heard the words ''Goldman Sachs'', the ONLY reasonable response to this nomination became ''no effing way''.
Bring back Alexander Hamilton...
This guy is an enviro wacko? I'd like to see evidence of that; investment guys aren't typically known to take the leftist position on these matters.
The minute we hear "Bank of New York...."
remember - Goldman Sachs produced the likes of John Corzine.
As soon as I heard the new nominee was from Goldman, I knew there was going to be trouble.
Goldman Sachs is a respected investment firm; every company has their bad eggs. I just hope this guy isn't one of them.
And I'd like to see a few links in this article (there isn't one) to back up the reporter's claims.
Golly, I thought (or hoped) the one thing we could count on our beloved President to do was to nominate ethical people.</semi-sarcasm>
Goldman Sachs? Respected? If you say so. Not by anyone who's taken one of their frequent hosings. Corzine wasn't a one-off, either; GS' long-term record of (putting it charitably) less-than-scrupulously-ethical dealings would put a blush to anyone's cheek. Possibly excepting Milken.
Paulson is also Chairman of the Nature Conservancy, an environmental activist group that endorses the Kyoto Treaty that would require the U.S. to make economically-drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to combat the scientifically-unproven global warming threat.
As head of the Nature Conservancy, Paulson often made decisions that benefited the Conservancy at the expense of Goldman and its shareholders,” said John Carlisle, policy director at the National Legal and Policy Center. “Based on his private sector record, Paulson simply can’t be trusted as Treasury Secretary to faithfully adhere to important Administration policies on Kyoto and the environment.”
“The Goldman board failed to respond to questions about the apparent conflict-of-interest between Paulson’s environmental agenda and his management of the company,” noted Tom Borelli of the Free Enterprise Action Fund. “You do not want someone serving as a cabinet officer who has a habit of indulging his environmental hobby at the expense of his financial responsibilities.”
“President Bush took the right step in not committing the United States to a treaty that would likely cost millions of American jobs to address an unproven global warming threat,” said Steve Milloy of the Free Enterprise Action Fund. “Henry Paulson would undermine the Administration’s ability to counter global warming alarmism.”
If the president thinks another Goldman liberal will bring in the base in the next election, he is being very, very badly advised.
What's happened since the early and mid-90's? When I worked with them, they had an excellent reputation.
Do a search on Paulson at the The Nature Conservancy
Henry M. Paulson, Jr. Elected Chairman of The Nature Conservancy Board of Governors, Jan. 20, 2004
The Nature Conservancy's Board of Governors today announced that Henry M. "Hank" Paulson Jr., chairman and CEO of The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., has been unanimously elected as the new chairman of the organization's national Board of Governors. Paulson currently serves as a member of the Board and as co-chair of the Conservancy's Asia Pacific Council.
"Conserving the diversity of plant and animal life on Earth is a mission of vital importance, and something I care deeply about," said Paulson. "I was drawn to The Nature Conservancy both because of its mission and because of its pragmatic, inclusive approach. An approach that, in my opinion, has produced an impressive record of achievements."
You and me both!
These are some of the same a@@holes who foisted the unconstitutional Fed upon us. Originally Congress' job that is no longer controlled by anyone but the president's right to appoint the chief. And whose shareholders include foreign banking elites.
Check these excellent links out - you may find them informative, i.e. stuff they decided we didn't need to know in public school, and still do as they sing FDR's & union praises.
